Remedios Sánchez preferred to remain silent when agents took her before a judge on Tuesday to provide explanations for the death last October of her underage neighbor from the Monilós neighborhood in A Coruña. With a history of three crimes against elderly women. … After several other attempts, Al-Mataya took advantage of her right not to testify, despite the presence of several pieces of evidence against her. For example, A Hanging in the victim’s house, cameras recorded him Inside the house. Of course, there is no recording of the moment of Carminia’s death, because the bathroom in which the body appeared was not within the camera angle.
Laremy allegedly used her prison statement to end the life of Carmenia, a woman over 90 years old, even though she lived alone, Her children and grandchildren were very close to her and visited her daily. This, as judicial sources explained to ABC, was the fourth vacation enjoyed by “Al Mataya” in Teixeiro Prison (La Coruña), where she was serving a prison sentence of more than 140 years imposed on her by the Barcelona Regional Court for the murder of three elderly women in the summer of 2006 and the attempt to end the lives of four others.
The Mataya used to use any pretext to gain the trust of old women, entering their homes, killing them and seizing items or money, often of little value. Evidence collected by the National Police indicates A A very similar modus operandi in this crime that took place in La Coruña, almost twenty years later Of these from Barcelona.
Judicial sources explained to this newspaper that Remedios Sanchez was his latest victim They met on the same day. Carminia let her into her house, as evidenced by the two cameras the family installed to make sure the old woman was okay, since she lives alone. One camera was in the hallway and the other was in the kitchen. But the corpse appeared in the bathroom, so, in principle, there is no direct evidence of authorship.
In any case, it is indisputable that Remedios Sánchez was in Carmenia’s house. The cameras recorded her there, in addition to “Remy” as she was known in Barcelona, where she lived for years. He had left an earring at home. During the inspection, the officers found a piece containing a type of pearl identical to another that the suspect had in the prison center.
From land to bingo
Another indication strengthens the hypothesis that Remedios Sánchez, a native of Puimurto (La Coruña), now 68 years old, repeated a pattern regarding his first crimes: one of the victim’s sons informed the police – in an expanded complaint, days after the first complaint – that 400 euros that Carmenia was holding are missing In different envelopes.
On the same day, around eight o’clock in the evening, after passing by Carmenia’s house, Remedios Sanchez went to play bingo. It was also in front of the slot machine where, almost two decades ago, the Mossos d’Esquadra arrested the serial killer who in the summer of 2006 spread panic in Barcelona and put the Catalan police, who still had little experience in criminal investigations, under surveillance.
Possibility of death by suffocation
Carmenia’s death was initially considered natural, and this was certified by the doctor who attended the home. The ambulance technicians did not notice anything strange. In fact, the body was at its heels when the first suspicions arose. The main hypothesis is that RIM The victim could have been suffocated with a towel or hat, This is a method that fits with the method of operation of “Al Mataya” in the Barcelona crimes.
for now, Remedios Sanchez remains in Teixeiro prison Waiting to know if she will be transferred back to the Mansilla de las Molas Correctional Center in León, where she was transferred after Carmenia’s death. In principle, the time he will spend in Teixero is temporary, due to his appearance before a judge on Tuesday. The two parties did not request any precautionary measure, considering it unnecessary because he is already in prison serving his sentence.
